Hacked Kinect duo teams up with HD projector to make 360 Snowglobe display (video)

Flatscreen displays? Decidedly aged hat; students from Queens University have a improved idea: snowglobes. Hacking together a 3D HD projector, dual Kinect sensors, as well as a hemispherical counterpart mounted inside of an acrylic sphere, “Project Snowglobe” has combined a make up holographic arrangement — presenting a 360-degree perspective of a digital object. The all-angles arrangement is compelling, though it’s particularly a single-user affair; a intent isn’t essentially projected in 3D — it instead follows a movements of a sole Earthling, rotating as well as changeable position, in sync with a viewer. The arrangement customary of a future? Maybe not, though flattering damn cool, all a same. Hit up a video after a mangle to check it out.
